I am from a big family. I have one older brother and five younger brothers and sisters. Life is fun. I only have two nephews so far, but fortunately I have friends with babies, and sometimes these friends let me cuddle their babies.
Today was the greatest morning ever. I sat in our local coffee shop with my best friend and got to see not one, not two, but THREE babies.
We joke that I have a magic shoulder because I love to rock babies to sleep. This morning I got to cuddle a 3 month old to sleep, and then a 15 month old crawled up in my lap to see the baby, while her 2 week old brother slept in his carseat.
At the end of this month my niece will be born, and I will have all the time to cuddle her. I want to start a business where I rock babies for mom’s who need a nap. Like, I’ll sit in the nursery and tend the baby all night so a mom can get a full night’s sleep. That’s probably already a doula service or something… But I would call it something like, “Aunt Reg’s Baby Rocking Service”.
There’s no better feeling than holding a sleeping baby. They have the squishiest little cheeks and they smell so good.
What’s your favorite thing about babies?
